Beautiful garden setting - An Eventective User from Seattle, Washington

I have catered many events here and they just keep getting better and better. Recently they hosted an open house and showcased the many areas they offer for client events from the lovely and intimate McVay Courtyard garden with a lovely greenhouse atrium to a spacious grassy field perfect for large tents and events. They also have a few indoor venues for the winter season and corporate events. Their coordinator, Lauren, is wonderful to work with and very accommodating. I look forward to every event at this venue.
